The Toyota Innova is a Toyota-designed Compact MPV i.e. being less than 4,600 mm (181.1 in) in length as per the European system of size classification, produced in Indonesia under supervision by Toyota Astra Motor since 2003. As with Toyota Kijang, which it replaced, the Toyota Innova is produced and first marketed in 2004 in Indonesia. Toyota Innova is part of Toyota's IMV program together with the Hilux Vigo pickup truck and the Fortuner SUV. Its official name in Indonesia is Toyota Kijang Innova, while for other countries it is simply Innova.

Powering the Innova is either a gasoline 2.0 liter 136 PS (100 kW) 1TR-FE VVT-i, a 2.7 liter (2TR-FE) version of the same, or a 2.5 liter 102 PS (75 kW) 2KD-FTV D4-D common rail diesel engine. Trim levels are J, E, G, and V. The 2.7 liter is only for the V, with automatic transmission. The Innova features a live rear axle and it is of front engined, rear wheel drive configuration. The newly added V variant adds ABS, leather seats and captain chairs.

The Innova is also sold in India (replacing Toyota Qualis), Malaysia (replacing Toyota Unser), the Philippines (replacing Toyota Revo), Taiwan (replacing outdated Toyota Zace surf), Vietnam (replacing outdated Toyota Zace) and Thailand. Unlike some of the Innova's competition, such as the TATA Sumo Grande, Chevrolet Tavera or the Mahindra Xylo, but like the newly launched Tata Aria, the Innova looks more like a minivan — in fact, its styling can be said to be similar to Toyota's other MPV offerings, namely the USDM Toyota Sienna and the Toyota Previa. The Toyota Innova is also available in Brunei, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Engine

Toyota Innova

Toyota Innova uses 1TR-FE engine, unlike the 7K series engine found in Toyota Kijang. The engine produces more power, but achieves poor gas mileage of 6-8 km/l (14.1-18.8 mpg‑US). After 2007, all gasoline engine is now equipped with a closed loop combustion system, which increases gas mileage at expense of reduced power. Based on information from the Auto Bild Indonesia test, it is now capable of 11-12 km/l figure (about 27.0 mpg‑US).

There is also more powerful 2.7L gasoline variants which uses Toyota Fortuner 2TR-FE engine. It was later pulled from the Indonesian market due to low demand. The diesel variants use turbocharged 2KD-FTV engine which produces 101hp of power and 260Nm of torque. Both gasoline and diesel version are available in either manual or automatic transmission. All variants use RWD configuration.

Markets outside Indonesia

Malaysia

The Innova is launched on the 27th of May, 2005 with the tagline "Got Class" because of its space. The Innova currently offered by UMW Toyota Motors Malaysia comes in two variants. Both are powered by Toyota's 1TR-FE 2.0 litre engine featuring VVT-i. The powertrains available are either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic with ECT.

Some of the features that the 2.0G offers are ABS, multi-information display, self illuminated meters, map lamps, illuminated ashtray, climate control and dual air bags. The 2.0G looks far more upmarket compared than does the 2.0E as chrome trims are added, whereas the lower grade 2.0E has black coloured door handles and front grille.

The Innova is a slow-seller in Malaysia because of its frame and ladder chassis, poor weight to power ratio and absence of a diesel variant unlike the preceding Toyota Zace. Diesels are often favoured in this segment because of improved fuel economy and high low-rpm torque. Moreover, the rise of reconditioned imported cars such as the Toyota Wish and Toyota Estima further slows down its sales. Nissan Grand Livina, Proton Exora and Perodua Alza have had better sales because of their monocoque body, which leads to better handling and lower asking price.

Three variants of Toyota Innova come with a petrol engine option which is powered by 2.0L, 1998cc, 1TR-FE, Gasoline, 4 Inline Cylinder petrol engine with EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection). The EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) technology enhances the fuel efficiency and performance of the vehicle. This engine delivers high engine performance and produces 132 PS of maximum power at 5600rpm with 181 Nm of maximum torque at 4000rpm.

The diesel variants of Toyota Innova are powered by 2.5L, 2494cc, 2KD-FTV, diesel engine with Turbocharger, 4 Inline Cylinder and with Common-Rail Direct Injection fuel supply system. This diesel engine produces 102 PS of maximum power at 3600rpm and 200 Nm of maximum torque at 1400~3400rpm.
